M100-SERIES: A Masterclass in Evolution
Tough without Compromise The measure of things – ultra-slim modules deliver 100 % reliability Bachmann stands for robust and powerful automation solutions, properties that are further proven by the capabilities of the M100 series. Founded on the Bachmann quality guarantee, our aim was to develop a system extension to optimally deliver a modular machine concept, utilize the latest technology, and ensure maximum availability. The M100 series comprises a wide portfolio of relevant modules for decentralized signal acquisition, processing and output. Remote units are securely connected to the controller via standardized, real-time-capable fieldbus couplers.
Future Solutions from a Single Source – The Bachmann Automation System
Thinking further, always being one step ahead, open-minded about everything that the future will bring – this is our mission at Bachmann and what makes our automation solutions so special. A holistic system, perfectly tailored to the individual requirements of our customers – today and in the future. The core of every Bachmann system solution is the M1 automation system: a modular hardware and software concept that guarantees maximum availability, future investment security and engineering efficiency.
CMS – Condition Monitoring System
A Condition Monitoring System (CMS) integrated in the automation system can provide all information, in order to detect failure hazards early on and plan maintenance tasks in good time. With increasingly competitive markets and industries, companies are challenged to run their organizations with ever more output and greater efficiency. Knowing the health of assets has become key to increasing company productivity and profit. Condition Monitoring System (CMS) by Bachmann Monitoring, proactively increases the performance of equipment by collecting important information on the health of company assets. The reliability of machines is increased, and potentially expensive downtime is avoided. Companies can plan maintenance more efficiently to increase not only the performance and lifespans of their assets but also save valuable time and costs of manually carrying out data collection. Bachmann Monitoring is the industry leader in condition monitoring. With more than two decades of experience in prolonging the lifespan of machines, Bachmann services thousands of installations worldwide with a complete package of individual and customized DNV certified solutions.
PLC integrated solutions for the energy supply
A scalable range of integrable, multifunctional power meters are available as plug-in modules for the Bachmann automation system. The measurement of all characteristic grid variables such as voltage, current, power or frequency directly within the control system allows significant correlation with other operational data, as well as an excellent reaction time. The measured data is rapidly calculated without additional delays due to fieldbusses or transceivers. Each module type integrates with the entire M200 IO portfolio and can be used multiple times per CPU. The PLC’s SSL/TLS secured authentication and authorization unit protects the grid measurement modules from unwanted changes and cyberattacks. All types of field busses, including SAE J1939 as well as OPC UA and RTU standards such as IEC 61850, IEC 60870-5-101/-103/-104, DNP3 or Modbus, are available to exchange data with network operators, plant controllers or generation units. Existing type approvals for generation units according to VDE-AR-N 4105/4110, ENA ER G99 and IEEE Std. C37.90 simplify the operational notification and compliance process. Maritime Class Approvals from DNV, BV, LR, ABS, RINA, KR and NK allow implementation on vessels and offshore installations. Compliance with UL/cUL and CSA make the units suitable for applications in North America. A coated version allows grid measurement and protection even in challenging environments with high humidity, from tropical heat to cold starts in polar regions.
atvise® Visualization Software – Controler-integrated, HMI & SCADA
atvise® SCADA is a modern SCADA system based entirely on web technologies and integrating the OPC UA industry standard. This enables platform-independent, flexible, and scalable monitoring and control of industrial processes. Access via a standard web browser The system is accessed exclusively via standard web browsers, without the need for additional plugins or software installations. Vertical engineering The object-oriented structure based on OPC UA enables consistent vertical engineering. This facilitates the reusability of controller and visualization modules and increases efficiency in the engineering process. Hot-Standby Redundancy The system offers hot-standby redundancy in pure web technology, which ensures high availability. This includes redundancy of data sources, network connections, the SCADA system itself, and browser switching. Extended connectivity With OPC UA as a widely used interface, atvise® SCADA connects process data from all well-known controller manufacturers. The atvise® connect communication module extends the interfaces with protocols such as Modbus, KNX, MQTT, BACnet, and access to Siemens and Rockwell controllers without an OPC UA server. Dynamic alarm processing atvise® SCADA offers extensive functions in the area of alarm processing. Alarms can be structured in arbitrarily nested alarm hierarchies and enriched with additional process information at runtime. High-performance archiving Process data, alarms, and user interactions can be efficiently logged. Over 40 nested aggregation functions are available for processing archived raw data, which can be used, for example, to determine average values, minimums, and maximums. Powerful scripting engine The integrated server scripting engine enables optimal utilization of the runtime system's resources. Functions include the manipulation and creation of data points, objects, and project content at runtime, the processing of alarm.
